We know, we know: Sometimes it seems like you have to eat an
entire farm just to get a day’s worth of veggies. Still, these green, red,
yellow and orange treats are extremely important and are vital for a healthy
diet. We tried a way to get just one more serving a day: eating greens for
dessert.

There’s no sense in limiting veggies to lunch and dinner. Why not just replace
some of the more unhealthy ingredients in our desserts with vegetables? I
promise, it’s not nearly as gross as it sounds. This beet cake is totally
delish.

DirectionsGrease a bundt pan and dust with cocoa powder tapping out the excess.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda,
salt and sift until evenly distributed. Set aside.

2. Beat 3/4 cup butter and the sugar in the base of a standing mixer until
light and fluffy. Add the eggs in one at a time and let beat for 3-4 minutes
until doubled in volume.

3. While the egg mixture beats, combine the chocolate with
the remaining butter and microwave 20 seconds at a time, stirring each time,
until melted.
Stir until smooth and set aside.

4. Add the vanilla extract to the eggs, followed by the
espresso, chocolate, and the beet puree and mix until well combined.

5. Add the flour mixture to the beet mixture and mix just
until completely and evenly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt
pan with the batter angled so that it is an inch higher on the sides than in
the center, and bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes or until a
tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes
before inverting on a wire rack.

6. While the cake is cooling, make the ganache by combining the chocolate and
butter in a medium bowl. Heat the cream through gently just until it starts to
bubble and pour over the chocolate. Stir slowly until the chocolate melts and
the ganache becomes smooth and glossy.

7. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and let set 15-20
minutes before serving.

To roast beets, scrub them thoroughly. Then, wrap the entire bunch of foal
in foil and bake at 350 degrees until they’re soft (about 30-40 minutes).
